It's day six of a strike involving Coca Cola Bottlers. We found union employees picketing this morning in Tillman's Corner.

They are protesting Coca Cola's plan to take away their pensions.
Employees say the move from pension plans to 401-k would cost some of them thousands of dollars.. Teamsters are also on the picket lines in Robertsdale, Leroy and Vancleave, Mississippi. 270 union workers are being affected by the pension plan change.

Video at link.
